During this third class in the sequence, students in the first term of their second year enhance their computer security skills through preparation for and participation in capture-the-flag (CTF) competitions. Unlike CSSE 140/141, this class is not taught by Computer Security Club students, but by a faculty member who helps mentor the cybersecurity competition team.
In this class you continue learning applied cybersecurity topics with a focus on applying concepts learned in CSSE140/141 to security competitions such as capture-the-flag events. You will experience strategy used for security competitions, practice working as a team for effective competition, participate in some security competitions, and construct exercises used for running a CTF event used in CSSE 141.
